I hate you went all banzai on it. If you want to replace with 3/4" copper you will need a 50' roll that costs about $4 a foot last I checked. The Schedule 40 is typically repaired with two glue couplings and a section of new pipe, about a $5 repair or $20 if you have to buy cleaner and glue plus the fittings. It's actually good stuff. FWIW.
To move the meter they will have to re-tap the main and install a threaded corporation stop valve. Usually it cost the same as a new meter set, $400 (?). I'd not hold my breath on that.
So far you are out labor and a couple Snickers bars. You might consider just fixing the broken Sch. 40. It may be leaking at the meter box. Has anyone run over it? That pushes the box down and onto the pipes. Happens a lot. And then you may have a pressure reducer or hand valve on your side too. All points of possible leakage/split fittings.
